Anxiety Management Programs

'CHILLED'

Teenagers (13-18 years)

'Coolkids' anxiety management programs are skills-based programs that teach children, teenagers and their parents practical skills on how to better manage anxiety, shyness and worry. These programs, developed by Macquarie University, use a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy approach and are delivered over 10-12 sessions.

Workbook activities help children and teens practice their new skills. In addition to the skills they learn, there is also a workbook for parents. The workbook explains to parents how they can best support their child as they learn to cope with anxiety and worry.

Many people who have learnt these new skills find that once they practice them enough, they worry less, feel more confident, more assertive and are able to do things that they used to find too difficult.
